No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Nashville are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Nashville charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with the hire partner to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:

• Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
• Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)

After landing at Nashville International Airport (BNA), follow signs from baggage claim to the Ground Transportation Centre on Level 1 of Terminal Garage 2. From there, dedicated shuttles operate to the consolidated Hire Car Centre where the Budget counter is located. The shuttle is the primary means of reaching the facility, although a walking route via the Level 1 exit is also available.

Once at the Hire Car Centre, proceed to the Customer Service Plaza on the top floor to complete your Budget check-in. Allow an additional 15 to 30 minutes beyond baggage claim for the shuttle wait and journey, plus counter processing time.

• Follow signs to Ground Transportation Centre, Level 1, Terminal Garage 2
• Board the dedicated hire car shuttle to the Hire Car Centre
• Check in at the Budget counter on the Customer Service Plaza level
• Collect your vehicle and exit the facility

For your Budget Nashville collection, bring your booking confirmation, valid driving licence, and a major credit card in the main driver’s name for the excess.

No, there are no toll roads, toll bridges, or toll tunnels anywhere in Tennessee, so your Budget hire in Nashville will not incur any toll charges whilst driving within the state.

This means you do not need to worry about transponder schemes such as E-ZPass or similar systems, and Budget's e-Toll programme is not relevant for driving within Tennessee. You can travel freely on all Nashville-area motorways, including I-40, I-65, I-24, and I-440, without any toll fees.

Tennessee also has no congestion charges or emissions-zone fees, so there are no hidden road-use costs to consider during your Nashville Budget hire.

If your journey takes you beyond Tennessee into neighbouring states that do have toll roads, standard toll billing through your Budget hire agreement would apply in those states. Keep receipts for any tolls paid outside Tennessee, as Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, allowing you to claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your hire period.

To collect your Budget hire in Nashville, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driving licence in the main driver’s name
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card, for the excess hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driving licence is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly necessary.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Budget Nashville counter. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the excess hold; only a major credit card in the main driver’s name qualifies.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget hires in Nashville, include Tolls Cashback, which allows you to claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your hire.

Since Tennessee has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls whilst driving within Nashville or elsewhere in the state. However, if your journey takes you into a neighbouring state with toll roads, any tolls paid there are eligible for the cashback benefit.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after your Nashville Budget hire:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid

Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your booking and typically process within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

For a Budget hire in Nashville, the excess is placed as a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card at the time of collection, not as an actual charge. For standard vehicles in the United Kingdom, typical holds range from GBP 300 to GBP 400, though the exact amount varies by vehicle class, hire location, and season.

Premium or specialised vehicles may carry a higher hold. The Budget counter in Nashville sets the final deposit amount, and Hola Car Rentals cannot guarantee the precise figure in advance.

• Only a major credit card in the main driver’s name with the name printed on the card is accepted for the hold
• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted
• Ensure your card has sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent the authorisation from being flagged

After you return the vehicle, the Budget Nashville counter releases the hold. Your bank or card issuer controls when the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 working days.

The minimum age to hire a Budget vehicle in Nashville without a young-driver surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire but will be charged an additional daily underage fee at the counter.

For Budget in Nashville, the young-driver surcharge is GBP 13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of GBP 65 plus taxes for the hire period. Drivers under 21 are not eligible to hire.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 are also restricted from certain vehicle classes. Categories typically available to younger drivers include Economy, Compact, Medium Saloon, Standard Saloon, Compact SUV, and Medium SUV. Premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible classes generally require the main driver to be at least 25.

One exception applies for Budget Nashville hires: if the main driver is aged 21 to 24 and is a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean, and the Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly shows the underage fee waived, the surcharge may not apply. All other standard requirements, including a valid licence and major credit card, still apply regardless of age.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget hire in Nashville, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation states that an additional driver is included, the first extra driver is free. If it is not included, Budget charges GBP 13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum of GBP 65 plus taxes for the hire period.

To add an additional driver at the Nashville Budget counter:

• The additional driver must be present at collection with a valid driving licence
• If their licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement
• For Budget Nashville, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone not named on the contract drives the vehicle, cover may be void. Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Nashville Budget counter to confirm whether the additional driver fee is included in your rate.

Nashville has a few driving characteristics worth knowing before you get behind the wheel of your Budget hire.

The downtown motorway loop where I-40, I-65, and I-24 converge is known for its complex design, featuring multiple left exits, lane weaving, and crisscrossing traffic. First-time drivers in Nashville often find this interchange disorienting, particularly the I-440, I-24, and I-40 cluster south of the centre. Allow extra time and plan your route in advance.

• Speed cameras are prohibited statewide in Tennessee except in school zones and certain curves, with fines capped at GBP 50 and officer review required
• Red light cameras do operate at some Nashville junctions and issue citations to the registered vehicle owner
• Number plate readers are active in surrounding counties, scanning for alerts near the city perimeter
• Tennessee has no toll roads, so your Budget hire will not incur any toll charges within the state

Nashville also has Complete Streets policies in some urban corridors, which prioritise pedestrians and cyclists and may slow vehicle flow in redesigned areas. Drive attentively and follow posted speed limits throughout your Nashville Budget hire.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget hires in Nashville, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. This benefit is particularly useful if something unexpected happens during your Nashville trip, such as a medical emergency or a breakdown on one of the city’s complex motorway interchanges.

Core benefits typically include:

• Travel insurance with medical cover for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in case of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this cover applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this benefit. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms, limits, and exclusions that apply to your Nashville Budget hire.

Budget hires in Nashville follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At collection, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your hire agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Nashville facility.

• Use the correct fuel type as shown in the vehicle documentation
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at the Nashville Budget location, leave the receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Budget may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a refuelling service fee. Returning the tank full is always the most economical option for your Nashville Budget hire.

After-hours returns at Nashville Budget locations are possible at some facilities, but you should confirm the specific instructions for your collection point before your hire begins.

For returns at Nashville International Airport (BNA), the Hire Car Centre is accessible via the same shuttle route used for collection. After dropping off your Budget vehicle, take the shuttle back to the terminal. Plan to arrive at the centre at least 45 to 60 minutes before your flight to allow time for the return process and the shuttle ride.

• Confirm after-hours key drop availability with the Budget Nashville counter at collection
• Ask the agent for the nearest fuel station to the return facility so you can refuel before dropping off
• Keep a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer at the time of return
• Retain all paperwork, including the hire agreement and fuel receipt

Be aware that when you return a Budget vehicle outside staffed hours in Nashville, you remain responsible for the vehicle until the contract is formally closed by the agent. Review your hire agreement for the exact after-hours return terms that apply to your Nashville booking.

The insurance cover included in your Budget Nashville hire depends on the rate plan selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Budget hire vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or persons.

For third-party liability, which covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others whilst driving your Budget hire in Nashville, you can add Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS) to your booking. Tennessee does not mandate a specific minimum liability inclusion for all hire situations, so Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding LIS cover for your Nashville trip.

• CDW/LDW covers the Budget hire vehicle itself
• LIS/ALI/SLI covers third parties you may injure or whose property you may damage
• Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered
• Prohibited uses such as off-road driving or driving under the influence void cover

Review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to see exactly which protections are included in your Nashville Budget rate.

Yes, one-way hires are available with Budget in Nashville, allowing you to collect in Nashville and return the vehicle to a different city or airport. A drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, distance, and vehicle class.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and set by Budget. It will appear under the "To pay at destination" section during the Hola Car Rentals booking process if it applies to your chosen route. Same-city returns, such as collecting at Nashville International Airport (BNA) and returning to a downtown Nashville location, often carry no drop-off fee, whereas longer interstate routes usually do.

• Check the details page during booking to see if a drop-off fee applies to your Nashville Budget route
• The fee is payable at the counter and cannot be prepaid
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the hire and recalculate the fee
• Cross-border one-way hires, such as returning to Canada, may be restricted or require prior approval

If a drop-off fee appears on your Nashville Budget confirmation, it is a legitimate charge and is not covered by No Extra Charges© Coverage. If a fee appears at the counter that was not disclosed during booking, keep your paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support.
